It’s exhausting because I spend a good portion of the day waiting for my mind to start working, and it’s pretty inefficient. I’m trying to figure out what this is all about, like is it temporary due to burnout, Strattera, or something else.

Non-24h sleep disorder is a common comorbidity with ADHD. If you are always tired when you wake up this is likely the cause.
omg that is me! I’ve always had trouble staying on a 24 hours sleep schedule. I just keep falling asleep later and later, until I get so tired from sleep too late and waking up early, that I finally crash. this has been my life story.
I do it until I fall asleep at like 3pm and then wake up at midnight and then it takes a few days to get back to a “normal” pattern until slowly the 3pm crash comes back around
yeah, im thinking of doing a reset next week. i’ll stay up all night and go to sleep at a decent time the following night.
Could be both that and burn out and/or depression. Talk to a professional, not the internet, about this.
Yep. I don’t have it diagnosed because my sleep study didn’t show anything so apparently I don’t have anything 🙄, aka I don’t have sleep apnea so sleep medicine didn’t care, but I almost certainly have non-24h. During covid lockdowns I slept when I was tired and ended up on a 25.5 hour schedule. I actually woke up and was awake. It was great.
Comorbidity? Is that really the right term here? Sounds extreme.
Yup, it refers to conditions that occur together.
Although morbid has quite a negative connotation in everyday use, the common latin root between comorbidity and morbid just means something like sickness.
Technically just having a cold is a morbidity.
